The Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore received an anti-Semitic bomb threat on Tuesday, its second in less than two weeks.
The first one, sent on May 15, led to the evacuation of JCC’s Rosenblum Owings Mills in Maryland. A second JCC site, in Weinberg Park Heights, was closed that day.
Law-enforcement officials did a sweep of both facilities and deemed the threats to be noncredible.
The JCC in St. Louis received a similar scare earlier this month, and related bomb threats were sent to Jewish Community Centers across the country in the last several months, according to JCC leadership.
They added: “We are saddened that situations like these continue to occur. We take the security of our JCC campuses very seriously and are grateful for the tremendous financial support we receive … to be able to have full-time security personnel at both campuses. This is a good time to remind everyone that if you see something, say something. … We will continue to focus our work at the JCC on building a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community for everyone.”
